Petrol prices will remain below 100p per litre at every single Asda during lockdown.

The supermarket says anybody who fills up at an Asda petrol station will see lower prices after introducing a nationwide price cap across the UK.

It says "You’ll find that earlier this week we cut the price of unleaded fuel by 3p per litre and reduced diesel by 4p a litre.

"Our nationwide price cap means that motorists filing up at any of our petrol stations will pay no more than 99.7p per litre for unleaded and 104.7 per litre for diesel. Following the fall in oil prices, this fuel price cut means we can continue to support the nation during these unprecedented times and help lower the cost for people who need to be travelling to and from work and those who need to make essential journeys."

However, Asda is not the only petrol station offering cheaper prices as the cost of a barrel of oil remains low.

Prices at Morrisons, Sainsbury's and Costco have also fallen in the last few days, with many road users reporting prices of less than 100p per litre for petrol.

According to the RAC, the average price of a litre of petrol fell by 4.15p in April, from 113.1p to 108.95p, meaning the cost of filling a 55-litre hatchback car fell from £62.21 to just £59.92.

Early in May petrol prices reached their lowest point in four years, and Asda's price promise means the low prices will remain for now while movement is still restricted across the UK.
